Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
Dulera inhaler contain a combination of formoterol and mometasone.I were to ask you to get a Pulmonary Function Test done & then would start on formoterol (which dilates your respiratory tract) & watch for the relief and add the second drug if it does not give symptomatic relief.Hope this answers your query.Get well soon.
